Salaam my brothers and sisters,

I've done a bit of reading on this forum and decided to start posting. I did notice a lot of hostility and anger and hope that I am never the cause of such negativity, Inshallah.

You got it brother! (I wish they had an emoticon with a hijabi praying dua)

My family disowned me upon conversion so I think it will take nothing short of Allah SWT to convince them otherwise. Inshallah I will continue to pray for them and also try to re-establish communication with them.

Wasalaam

salaams sister, and welcome to the beautiful religion of Al-Islam. In periods of difficulty and hardship it is important to have patience.

(94:5-6).
"verily, with every hardship comes ease!"

Thank you for praying for me.

Allah is the one who commands the change of heart sister. Verily muslims long to reach the level of dedication and love for Islam as close to the companions of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and you are experiancing the same as many companions of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) went through 1400 years ago.

There is a verse in Qur'aan which confirms similar to that some one saying you are my mother from now on will not become one. similarly some one saying you are not my son/daughter any more doesn't change the fact that he/she is indeed their son/daughter.

Following are some translation of verses from Qur'aan I would like to share...

6:151
O Muhammad, say: "Come, I will recite what your Rabb has forbidden to you: not to commit shirk with Him, to be kind to your parents, not to kill your children making the excuse of inability to support them - We provide sustenance for you and for them - not to commit shameful deeds whether open or secret, not to kill any soul forbidden by Allah except for the requirements of justice. These are the things which He enjoined you so that you may learn wisdom.

29:8
We have enjoined man to show kindness to his parents; but if they (your parents) force you to commit shirk with Me, of which you have no knowledge, do not obey them. To Me is your return and I will inform you of what you have done.



Five times daily Salah (prayers) and and extra prayer called Tahajjud for the Holy Prophet and Al-Quran is a healing and mercy for the believers

17:78
Establish Salah from the decline of the sun till the darkness of the night (Zuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha) and read at Fajr (dawn); for the reading at Fajr is witnessed (by the angels).

17:79
During a part of the night, pray Tahajjud, an additional prayer for you (O Muhammad), very soon your Rabb may exalt you to 'Maqam-e-Mahmood' (a station of great glory).

17:80
During the prayer say: "Rabb! Make my entrance, the entrance with truth and make my exit, the exit with truth and grant me a supporting authority from your presence;"

17:81
and declare, "The Truth has come and falsehood has vanished, for falsehood by its nature is bound to perish."

17:82
We have revealed the Qur'an which is a healing and a mercy to the believers, while to the wrongdoers it adds nothing but loss.

17:83
Man is a strange creature: when We bestow Our favors on man, he turns his back and drifts off to one side (instead of coming to Us) and whenever evil touches him, he gives himself up to despair.

17:84
O Prophet say to them: "Everyone acts according to his own disposition; but only your Rabb knows best who is on the Right Way."

Nice to meet you

Welcome, ShyMuslim

Well, things get a little heated at time ... and sometimes (very sadly) quite hostile too ...

There is the NCR Introduction thread, if you want to tell us a little more about yourself.
And the FRUITCAKE CAFE is always a safe haven for friendly banter!

I hope you feel welcome here and join us!

Peace

glo

Welcome aboard!

As for the negativity and hostility just ignore it as it usually comes from a few people.
